The value of ultrasound studies in patients with renal transplantation has been reported previously but studies in patients without transplantation are described rarely. Ureteral obstruction with hydronephrosis may cause urinary extravasation. The possibility of urinary extravasation or urinoma should be considered if a sonolucent lesion is seen around a hydronephrotic kidney and a renal scan with 99mtechnetium diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid may confirm the finding. © 1981 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 125Issue 5May 1981Page: 728-730 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 1981 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.MetricsAuthor Information En-Lin Yeh More articles by this author Lan-Chang Chiang More articles by this author Robert C.
